Not sufficiently noticed during last week's sensations has been Idaho's return to the old convention system of making parly nominations. Possi bly a political reaction has started which will spread far before it is stopped. Conservative politicians In other states are not likely to ignore what has happened in Idaho after ten years of expedience with the di rect nomination primary system. They seem to endure about as well as anything in Russia. S The President Flays Senators." reads one headline. Another says: "Senators Flay President." And so the story of politics runs. This "flay ing" business is a favorite indoor sport. m m V S The Presidential boom of Ole Han son appears to have joined that of General Pershipg. And they will have plenty of company later on. Exchange. m The situation in Russia bodes no good forLenine. but he doesn't know how to let go. He Is like the fighter whose nose was in the other fellow's mouth. S S It is said that the ex-kalser dreads a trial on the charge of murder and for other causes, but he can avoid it by pleading guilty, thus saving bis attorney's fees. ; The names of the men who are attempting to block the formation of the proposed League of Nations will be forgotten. '" History will preserve the names of the outstanding proponents of this great instrument of advancement. sSuch was the rule long before Jushua and Caleb pleaded with the Children of Israel to proceed into the Promised Land, while the unfaithful ten "practical" spies in their craven report advised them to go back into the darkness of Egyptian slavery. There wa a man who once dreamed that he could make a machine that would carry him upon the upper winds. "Practical" men laughed at him. There was another man who dreamed that he would replace the ancient sails of the Phoenician on the ships at sea with steam engines and men laughed at him. And there was still another man who dreamed that he would mend the shattered bones of a broken human body and make it whole again. There were men who also laughed at him. . More than all these, there walked once upon the dusty roads of (Jalilee a Man who dreamed that He would become the Prince of Pface); that He would make all men brothers; that He would speak the word that would put forever an end to wars. Him they crucified upon the.Tree of Calvary; in strident laughter soldiers divided His poor garment among .them with the edges of their swords; the Pharisee scoffed at Him and challenged Him to loose the nails from His feet and hands and to come down from the cross on which He hung. fiver and ever has it been like that since and before' the sons of 'Abraham disputed with their neighbors for a pasture for their flocks. The world has never been so small that, it ?ould not make room for the doubters and the scoffers. f But, thank God, it has also never been, so large that it could lose -Vght of those whose faith was as the mountains are, whose hope was as the sun in heaven, who never ceased to try to make possible that which others said could never come to pass. ! Shall we not number ourselves among them?. ' f How blind indeed must be the man who contend that any great ideal is impossible of realization! Is not the world today incom parably a better world than it ever was before? There was a time when poor old witless women were burned as witches; a time when men and women were bound to stakes and consumed in fire, for their religious beliefs or finbeliefs- when women were chattels ; when stone and wooden gods were worshiped ; when a man could be thrown into a foul prison because he was too poor to pay a debt of money or other tribute ; when men and women and little children, even in "free America, were slaves four millions of them. ", r. Have not all these squalid miseries that afflicted the mind's and bodies of men passed? And is not war the amalgamation and the concentration of these miseries, all put togetheV, every one? 1 Wherefore, even as those who have gone befofe have approached their ideals, let us now at least approach this ideal of a League of "'Nations. ' I Let us be willing to try it, no matter what the doubt may be as to its success. Give it a chancel Let whoever will point out that it is an ideal that has been approached and tried in the past only to fall and fail. So also have other ideals, that are now realities, fallen and failed many and many a time. t. If it shall, somehow, transpire that those who ODDOse the forma tion of the League of Nations shall be able to defeat its realization, meir victory, unholy as it would be, could not be lasting. If our generation fails to tying ft about, be sure that another generation in days to come will succeed in doing what we now may fail to do. But shall we not strive and keen on striviner? The man who feels himself under no obligations to the past,and who considers that he has no responsibility to the future, is a man who is wholly outside of the realm of sensible discussion. That kind of a man is born, lives his life and goes down to death as though he had not lived at all. He is not counted. What we must do in this grave and crucial hour of history, is to stand back of the ideal of the League of Nations for teace with all our hearts and souls. We must approach that ideal with the utmost ardor and in the liveliest spirit of hope. , We must answer to the spirits of the dead : we must render an account to the generations yet unborn. Also, we have ourselves to think of in our own day and generation. . " The League of Nations is not a question of persons or parties in any particular country. It is a question that concerns the whole wona and an the races that dwell therein. Five farmers' organizations the national grange and patrons of hus bandry, the farmers' national coun cil, the national federation of glean ers and,' the society of equity and non-partisan league have indorsed the league of nations, and they are as near the people as the senate is. NOT VERY BLOODTHIRSTY Thus far it appears that the only execution among American soldiers was that of the man in France who was executed for. offense, against a French child. And he was drunk when he committed the crime. Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair PERSHING'S TRIBUTE The record of the American sol dier speaks for itself. No matter what part of the world he is called to. ba it Cuba, the Philippines, France or Germany, be does his du ty and fears no foe. He is entitled to the praise of his countrymen and it is accorded him in the highest measure. But what he likes best of all is the approval 0 his command ing officers. Now General Pershing, commander of the American expe dition to France, fe no orator. He leaves oratory to Hearst's friend. Senator Reed, and others like him. But the general can rise to the oc casion when it comerto speaking his mind about the American soldier. This Is what be said in Paris at a recent luncheon given by the Amer ican Club: "Whether keeping lonely vig il In the trenches, whether at tacking machine-gun nests or performing the drudgery of the rear Vr supplying the front line, each man has done his duty and be has felt be bad behind him the support of the whole coun try. By bis courage, his In domitable will, his splendid or- Sanitation and bis tenacity the American soldier turned Im- pending defeat Into overwhelm ing victory. I drink to the Amer ican soldier, than whom there is no better in the world today." The lAme:icaa soldier tfully de serves that acknowledgment of bis prowess and his devotion. He only has two equals, and they are the American marine and the American sailor. The three of them together are unconquerable.

One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thorough ly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and excesive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluf fy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces Is enough to last everyone In the family for months.

When the French band was en tertained after their concert, at the Salem Commercial club rooms, the other night, a lot of Salem men and women were there talking French to the guests, like Parisians. Who. before that, knew Salem had so many people w h j can read and speak the French language? The Bits for Breakfast man would suggest that otber occasions might appropriately be made for the meeting of these French speaking people for mutual exchanges and benefits; especially in Tiew of our boy from "over there," who would do well t con tinue their study of. the language of diplomacy.- What do you say? It was Mr. Arthur Balfour who said that the only thing Jn this wo-id that had not changed In S000 years was human nature. No doubt, if the truth were known, both McAdoo and Gregory are glad to get out of the Wilson adminis tration before the mopping begins. 1 Of course the new phone rate is an advance.

The official homecoming celebra tion of the War Mothers will not be staged at once but will be postponed until weather permits that the most of it can be held out of floors. How ever that does not keep the people from welcoming the boys and they will be met by parents, wives, sweet hearts and great crowds from Sa lem' and vicinity.
